   If you're using git from the command-line you can run:   
      
   git diff   
      
   to provide a patch, using your modified gedinit.cpp.   
      
   You could probably just paste the patch here if you don't want to go to the   
   trouble of forking it on Github.   
      
    BR> It has been extensively tested, works fine and doesn't break anything.

   BTW something is adding CRs to your messages in between paragraphs...
